After a frustrating few weeks that saw MNUFC take to the road and suffer two tough losses to Sporting KC and one heartbreaker to Real Salt Lake, the team returned to the comforting confines of TCF Bank Stadium with their hearts set on revenge. In their first ever MLS match, the Loons lost 5-1 to the Portland Timbers at Providence Park. But on the longest day of the year, it was Minnesota’s turn to make it a long night for Portland, handing them a 3-2 defeat in a wide open, back-and-forth thriller.
“Sometimes I think that we’re at our best when we are fired up,” said Head Coach Adrian Heath.
